An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such tha

t it would produce a mean pressure of 5.4 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 1.0. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The p-value from the hypothesis test is 0.142 i.e., greater than the given significance level of 0.05. So, the null hypothesis is not rejected. The z-score for the given sample is 1.471.

<h3>What is the decision rule for the p-value approach to hypothesis testing?</h3>

The decision rule based on p-value states,

  • If p > α (significance level), then the null hypothesis is not rejected
  • If p < α (significance level), then the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Since it is given that the valve would produce a mean pressure of 5.4 pounds/square inch. I.e., μ = 5.4 p/si

So, Defining the hypothesis:

Null hypothesis H0: μ = 5.4

Alternative hypothesis Ha: μ ≠ 5.4

It is given that,

The valve was tested on 24 engines. I.e., Sample size n = 24

The sample mean X = 5.7

Standard deviation σ = 1.0 and

The significance level = 0.05

Since the population distribution is approximately normal,

the test statistic is calculated as follows:

z = (X - μ)/(σ/\sqrt{n})

On substituting the value,

z = (5.7 - 5.4)/(1.0/\sqrt{24})

  = (0.3)/0.204

  = 1.471

Fron this z-score, the p-value is calculated as 0.142.

Since, the value of p > 0.05 (significance level), the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The regression equation y = -0.414x + 106.55 approximates the percent of people in an
murzikaleks [220]

The correct option will be:   A. 67%

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Given equation is:   y = -0.414x + 106.55 , where x is the length of the film in minutes and y is the percentage of people finish watching the film.

Here, the length of the documentary is given as 95 minutes. So, we will <u>plug x=95 into the above equation</u> and get....

y=-0.414(95)+106.55\\ \\ y=-39.33+106.55\\ \\ y=67.22 \approx 67

<em>(Rounded to the nearest percent)</em>

So, the percentage of people in an audience who will finish watching a documentary that is 95 minutes long will be 67%

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
FrozenT [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

y — yı = m(x – xı) equation of a line

Points A(1,3) and B(2,1)

Slope (m) = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

(1 –3) / (2 – 1)

–2/1

–2

Thus, y –3 = –2 (x – 1)

y – 3 = –2x + 2

y –3 + 3 = –2x + 2 + 3

y = –2x + 5
